My 5 Stars
Well security is what you make of it. One persons view differs from the next. In my case I have been using Avast for over 12 months both for my desktop computer, and mobile devices. Never had any issues of concern which gives me peace of mind.
Worst security software and support
I had high hopes for this software which seems to have deteriorated over time. Recent problems ( on multiple devices) prevent accessing email if any of the protections are enabled. Recently a comical “a thing has been detected” started. Then it progressed to “to two things” (that’s their error message not my words). Reporting this to their tech support together with their self generated log file produced a vacuous response.
These people seem to invest a lot of time developing advertising prompts and none on debugging the software or helping the user.
I’d suggest these people are inept. I tend to think that protecting the fare paying user is low on their list of priorities.
I’ve been a serious web user for 30+ years and can say without hesitation that this company doesn’t deserve any support. I wish I could attach screen shots of their error messages about “a thing” problem being found.
Needless to say I won’t be renewing my subscription.
Shame on you Avast and your polite but useless tech support. Oh yes - and replying to their request for more info gets the robot response “can’t ID the ticket number which is in the message subject and quoted in the message. What crock is this …
Slow internet connection
I’m not technical so am only assuming the ‘protections’ are in place. That said I am running the latest iOS and I consistently had difficulty establishing and maintaining an internet connection on cellular and wifi. A network could be identified, but no actual connection established. Ran speed test all the time. I like this product and see the value but it caused so much disruption to being connected that it became quite frustrating to the point I would have the VPN on and would get nothing back... turn it off and I’m connected straight away.
